KM4X — The Next Generation Spindle Connection System<br />
As a global tooling supplier and a true customer support partner, we recognize<br />
the need to offer tooling products for all spindle interfaces and make available<br />
solutions to provide the best cutting edges to gain maximum productivity at the<br />
spindle system connection.<br />
KM4X is the latest version of the KM spindle interface targeted at heavy-duty<br />
machining operations and is a top choice for machining large, structural<br />
tough-to-machine materials like titanium for the aerospace industry.<br />
The Latest Innovation in Spindle Interface Technology<br />
• KM4X offers the most rigid connection able to withstand extremely high<br />
bending due to a combination of high interference and high clamping forces.<br />
• KM4X provides 3x more bending capacity than comparable face<br />
contact systems.<br />
• KM is the only connection that maintains stiffness at elevated rotational speeds<br />
and is suitable for a range of applications from low speeds with high torque<br />
to very high spindle speeds with low torque.<br />
• KM4X maintains a better balance between bending and torsion capabilities.<br />
• The ability to retrofit KM4X to an existing machine tool offers the added<br />
advantage of increasing throughput.<br />
• Heavy-duty, rigid configuration with evenly distributed clamping force.<br />
• Simple design enables front-loaded spindle configuration.<br />
• Balanced-by-design for high spindle speed capacity.<br />
